Kelly, R. Green, and A. F. Barra. 2009. “Connecting the Continent: Costing the Needs for Spending on ICT Infrastructure in Africa.” AICD Background Paper 3, World Bank, Washington, DC. Chapter 6 This chapter was written by Mark D. J. Williams. It contains a synthesis of the analysis presented in the other chapters and presents policy recommendations intended to drive the sector forward. None of this research would have been possible without the generous collaboration of government officials in the key sector institutions of each country, as well as the arduous work of local consultants who assembled this information in a standardized format. The work benefited from widespread contributions and peer review from colleagues within the World Bank, notably Mavis Ampah, Laurent Besançon, Jérôme Bezzina, Doyle Gallegos, Tim Kelly, Ioannis Kessides, Kaoru Kimura, Juan Navas-Sabater, Rupa Ranganathan, Carlo Rossotto, Lara Srivastava, and Eloy Eduardo Vidal. The external peer reviewers for this volume, Charley Lewis and Russel Southwood, provided constructive and thoughtful peer review comments. The comprehensive editorial effort of Steven Kennedy is much appreciated. *All source documents are available for download from the AICD website, http://www.infra structureafrica.org.
